BEYOND CAYIL.
Rescued From the Very Jaws of
Death.

While the writer is well aware that
written testimonials regarding the
phenomenal efficacy of any particular
method of medical or surgical treat
ment OF disease should be deprecated,
for they certainly are looked
upon with well-founded suspicion
by the public at large as being
little more than the cunning de-
vice OF the charlatan, quack or
vendor of patent nostrums, to make
pecuniary profit; yet no one will
hardly dispute the assertion that when
remarkable medical cure is had of
any description, and person actually
saved thereby, from premature death,
the individual thus benefited owes it
his fellow sufferers; nay, it becomes in
the opinion of many an imperative duty
to make known in as public manner as
possible the method by which his health
was regalned, that others similarly
afflicted may be able, if they desire, TO
reap the benefits 1t is with this end
III view that the undersigned feels
prompted to conscientiously pen the
following narrative and testimonial as
10 the means whereby ne gainad q re-
newed lease of life. To commence with
Ny name is William J. Jones; by occu-
patton farmer and miner; am % wears
or age and have resided in Beaver
County, Utah, nearly all my life. oc-
cupy and cultivate farm at Rocky
Ford; but have been in the habit for
number OF years past OF spending the
winter months of each year in laboring
N and around the silver and lead mines
in the western. part of Beaver County.
In Septem Der, 1885, l was employed |
Dy the North Star Silver Mining.Com- |
pany, working for that company in the |
Chicago mine. in the North Star Mining |
District. While thus employed, in the |
month above mentioned, became ut
terly Frustrated from the baneful |
effects OF the very poisonous arsenical |
vapor and dust that impregnated the |
workings OF the mine in which I la
bored. This prostratiou and sickness
was accompanied by an almost total
suppression of urine, and q marked
dropsical tendency of the body and
limbs. Failing to get any relief from
the local physicians. my friends con-
Guided 1t best to send Ee for treatment
to the Holy Cross Hospital. in Salt Lake
City. While the expert physicians of
that excellent institution undoubtedly
used their best skill, my case seemed 10
utterly battle them, and at the expira-
ton of two months l was discharged,
with the melancholy information that
my case was incurable. ! was then
utterly helpless, both physically and
and but for the kind Offices
OF friends would have laid aside, as it
were, to die. However, was taken in
and cared for, and two of the ablest
physicians Salt Lake afforded called
TO my assistance. One of them dag
nosed my disease as being nephritts,
md the other medical gentle
nan said 1 was suffering from an
acute stage of Bright's disease of the :.
lidneys. My body and limbs were
Iwollen to frightful extent, the skin |
,eipg apparently distended to its utmost 4
enslon by the watery secretion. Both
II the physicians referred to above, gave
ny case their best attention, but not
their efforts and skill l
grew worse and they also
ave up my cas- as hopeless. In this
errible extremity, my friends happen
ng to learn OF some cases of similar
haracter that had been successfully
reated by DR.. II. e. Grow, the Electro
athist of liz W. South Temple Street,
alt Lake City, and as an almost final
enture, they called him to examine
nd diagnose the case. After making
he examination Mr.. Grow reported
nat my complaint was an almost COM
lete paralysis of the kidneys. To make =
long story short. Mr.. Grow gave me
ne hours treatment daily for two
lonths, Supplementary the electric
imulation by mild medicine. At the 4
kpiration of the period referred to, my 4
ody had become reduced to its natural
re, and to the infinite Joy of my family :
was enabled to return and resume my
bors on the farm wholly and per-
anently cured. This testimony is en-
rely voluntary and unsolicited, and
in my humble opinion but a meagre
ibute to the wonderful efficacy of the
ectrical treatment of disease, as prac- 4
led by DR.. II. E. Grow. of Salt Lake L
